So, with my mojo returned, I created this Fun Fold card! I usually do this fold with a circle die, but I have also seen it done with other shapes, and the Snail Dies have an awesome square die! Not only are there dies to cut out the stamped images, some of the dies cut out images from the darling DSP, AND there are some cute, detailed "mushroom" dies as well. See, I told you this was fun! Again, I used the colors in the DSP as my color-guide! Enjoy!!

To Make This Card:
- Score the Red card base at 2 1/4". Turn cardstock, and then score at 3". Crease well with Bone Folder.
- Mark the stitched square die at the halfway mark with a Sharpie. Note: This die is not square!! Decide which way you want your square to go. I would recommend the longer side to follow the fold of the card!
- Fold the top, narrower flap down. Crease well. Place tick marks on die along fold. Run through Stamp & Emboss Machine through both layers. (This DOES work!) Toss away this square.
- Attach Whisper White square to inside of card, hiding 1/2 of the square opening.
- Cut Stitched Square Die from Blushing Bride cardstock. Close top flap, Attach Blushing Bride square through the opening. Matching the "scallops", and adhere to the Whisper White base.
- Match the Whisper White smaller "square" to the adhered cut. Remember this piece is NOT square. Stamp "mushroom" so it will attach correctly to the Blushing Bride piece.
- Color "Mushroom" with Stampin' Write Markers. as shown. (I used markers, because there is no Blushing Bride Blend!) Permanentlly attach to Blushing Bride "square".
- Attach DSP to lower flap. This lower flap should miss the Blushing Bride "square", so trim if necessary.
- Cut out die cut "mushrooms" from various scraps of cardstock as shown. Punch out a circle and attach largest "mushroom" to it. Place Dimensionals along bottom edge of circle. Close top flap. Overlap punched circle so it holds down upper flap. Adhere.
- Finish card with strip of "mushroom" DSP to inside of card, along with 2 smaller die cut mushrooms. I also added a triple bow of Blushing Bride Twine.
- Stamp sentiment of your choice under "square" opening in Memento Black.
